Re: Unusual problem on a 5.5hp Johnson 1960

Thanks everyone this really saved me some time. It turned out to be the fuel diaphragm. It had a hole in it. I did as suggested and pulled the fuel pump off the motor and pumped up the fuel bulb and fuel came out the impulse hole like crazy. The motor started first pull with it removed cold after I pumped up the fuel bulb. I did put a new fuel filter on the motor the hard ceramic filter because it was missing when I got the motor so it is pretty much good to go now with new coils, ignition modules, new rope, new impeller, new base gasket, new starter rope etc. It’s a terrific motor and very easy to work on which is one thing I like about it. I now will have to make a new fuel diaphragm for it which I have made a few in the past.

Thanks Everyone,
Joe 😀
